While this process shouldn’t be too risky, bricks can happen. None of us will be accountable. If you are worried, don’t do it.

This is a pretty simple method, however, you will need to have a working adb and fastboot environment. This method will work on any operating system that supports adb and fastboot. You should understand how to use a terminal window in your O/S. If you don’t understand adb and fastboot, you probably don’t need S-off.

Lastly, the work herein should not be stolen, repackaged, one clicked, bat’d, etc. soffbin3 is not GPL and may not be reused, integrated into other work, reposted, or redistributed without our permission.

For this to work, you must be rooted and have superCID (unlock/custom recovery is optional), see the threads below for help and information regarding obtaining superCID, unlock, root, etc. Note these threads are provided for convenience only. Please look for support for them in each respective thread if you need it, do NOT clutter this thread with support requests regarding obtaining superCID and/or root! If you try this process without superCID, it will not work, and you may have issues!:

SuperCID for HTC Evo 4G LTE:

adb shell
su
echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20

1)

adb reboot bootloader

2)

fastboot oem rebootRUU

(wait for black HTC Screen)

3)

fastboot flash zip PJ7510000-EvoLTE.zip

After a while, You should see the following error “FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)”

7) Immediately issue the following command:

fastboot boot EvoLTE-rescue.img

(this is fastboot boot, NOT fastboot flash!)

8) Allow device to boot (may not fully boot on some custom roms)

adb reboot bootloader

9) You should see what you are looking for!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Indirect:
Took me all of 2 minutes to get s-off.

Extra info: This works on 3.16 firmware and subsequently 3.15 as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcase:
Probably worked on 3.16 for you as you already had supercid, I'm guessing the recent 3.16 update prevents changing the CID.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Indirect:
I dont think so because we've never used CID on this phone before. Only way to find out is to test.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mick3444:
Thanks for bringing this to the evo lte! I have windows 8 so this is gonna make it much easier compared to dirtyracun, thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
Thread cleaned. Going forward let's see about keeping it respectful in here.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Nooblube:
This is super easy! You guys rock. Thanks 4 this
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chocorico:
Sorry for the stupid question, but what is supercid.?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mildlydisturbed:
Pretty sure it's that first 3 lines of code - makes your phone believe it has older firmware so you can flash older RUUs/updates. Swear there used to be a thread for it around here somewhere.

Hold power for 40 seconds, nothing in that should be causing bricks.

EDIT:

Apparently you were not bricked, we can only support stock roms, can't control how it behaves on AOSP, given it should still work, but it might not until you do a reboot. Please next time confirm that you are bricked before posting that you are.

[23:24:30] <BB15>	I'm actually not bricked. I got it to boot back up and I'm s-off, but now I get prompted to activate my phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BB15:
Yeah, I wasn't bricked. After waiting for some time for my phone to reboot after running FacePalm I unplugged the USB and held the power button and it booted right up. Rebooted the bootloader and verified that I was s-off. Then I ran into the activation problem. Just flashed MeanBean and ran through the activation, now all is good. Your work on this is much appreciated.

[SUPERCID] SuperCID For EVO LTE(Ruu to older firmware(not hboots))
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
So for clarity, the superCID commands are run from the phone while booted? or in bootloader? It looks from the way its written thats its meant to be done while the device is booted

Edit:

Thanks OCN :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LAELOW615:
Finally have s-off!!!!

Thx to Facepalm S-Off I now have s-off. Finally,after a long year and a half of trying to get s-off.....

I must have been doing a few things wrong this whole time or Facepalm S-Off has done it right...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BB15:
I ran it while booted. No issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rootlinux:
Fantastic job.

Already S off but props given.

Very nice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jshow816:
Wow, this was incredibly easy. Soff in less than 2 minutes. I just followed the directions and flashed stock rom to be safe. $$ coming to you guys on payday!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] welshwarriorsf:
So it matters only what software we're running? I'm on 3.16, the newest software update for our phone (I believe). My hBoot is 1.19 but this is irrelevant right? So I need to just RUU and older software version to be able to the 3 lines only and get superCID?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] beaups:
Again,

fastboot getvar mainver

If it is 3.16.xxxx you will need to downgrade.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] altvolt74:
how do i downgrade?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
3.15 and 3.16 both have hboot 2.09

check one post above yours to check your version
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 12gage:
I apologize if this has been asked, fear of the brick has made me want to double and triple check everything before attempting this. I'm on Viper's latest ROM, hBoot 1.12, really just wanting to update my firmware (have noticed some random shutdowns since flashing the most recent JB version of Viper, thought having the FW installed that the ROM is based off would help). Will following the directions in the OP give me S-Off and update the firmware all in one? Will this wipe my data at all? And where do I find ADB? I'm comfortable with Terminal commands but haven't had to use ADB yet. I've found downloads for tablets on XDA but not in the EVO threads that I could see, sorry for being so wordy. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ajada85:
Hello to All,

I have a Question... But First Let me Explain (lol)

I have sucessfully Upgraded my Hboot to 1.19 using DirtyRacun method through linux. Had to Relock my Phone to get it though, Could not Finish the Whole Process because I Couldnt Fine Certain Files via htcdev site. Could Someone Explain this Method in detail to me. i know how to use cmd..

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jumbeemann:
ok so I'm on 3.16 and know that I have to downgrade for this to work and sorry for being off topic, but is there a way to downgrade using windows? i see baby rancun you need linux. Any help is appreciated guys. Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bjb_nyj101:
This link will tell you how to set up adb (assuming you're on windows).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] welshwarriorsf:
Anybody know??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ackaite:
OKAY i finally have S-OFF thanks a million but now my question is how do i get rid of the tampered and unlocked above the s-off and should it say cid-22222222 under s-off?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Flash a DirtyRacun HBOOT from the post before yours, or use the RegawMod Bootloader Customizer to create a customized HBOOT and flash that.

And yes, it should say CID-22222222 under S-OFF. That means you have SuperCID.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shadnic:
Hey guys, I have a quick question, as I'm really glad to have found this and I really want to give it a shot, however I'm running into a problem pretty early on. I know this isn't a problem DIRECTLY related to your work, so if you want me to ask elsewhere then I'll move it...

My phone will not get recognized by my computer once I go into fastboot. It'll recognize it as a usb device when it's booted normally, but once I go into fastboot, it says USB device unrecognized or malfunctioned and I can't do anything to it with adb. Anything I type just says "waiting for device" indefinitely.

I don't know if this would be my phone or my usb cable (sadly the only one I have with me so I couldn't test with another). Any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ackaite:
what Hboot version should i install im not too familer with Hboots and i see DirtyRacun has like 3 different ones thanks for your time captain throwback

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

Do u have the right htc drivers installed i doubt its the usb cable if it the one that came with it they normally dont go bad and if it detects it with fastboot is off then i would say the cable is working
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Also make sure USB debugging is turned on

Try using a different USB port the ones in the back usually perform better

Also USB 3 ports are still kinda hit and miss
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shadnic:
I do have USB debugging checked, though the little icon doesn't show up in my notification tray (causing me to check a million times to be sure it was in fact, checked, but perhaps that's just a feature I never noticed of my rom or something).

I tried a few different usb ports, but they were all on the top of my computer so I will try the back! Crazier things have worked, haha, thanks for the suggestion!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
You could also try uninstalling all the HTC stuff reboot your PC then re-install drivers again

HTC Sync is needed sometimes too, install it to get the drivers then uninstall the program the drivers will stay
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
It doesn't matter which one you flash. They're all essentially similar, so any one will do.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shadnic:
So I finally got issues with my usb port worked out, though I've hit another snag.

I'm at the step where I'm flashing the zip, and it says "sending 'zip' (35863 mb)" . I noticed in readouts people had posted that this step took between 2-3 seconds....however mine's been doing this for at least 6 minutes...

Do I have the world's slowest usb cable or has something gone wrong? Everything was working up to this point. My phone is currently on the black HTC screen.

I've rebooted and restarted the process several times, and tried redownloading the zip file too. It is indeed placed in the same folder as adb, but it will not push to my device...even after an hour. Any help would be really appreciated!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Univsoldur:
so i was having a very similar problem its actually because your computer doesnt see the device in the terminal when the phone is connected and in fasbootusb type this command (in linux)

$ lsusb

it should give you a read out for all devices that the computer is seeing i would do that and then post a pastebin of what the output says.

i had this problem when i had the phone plugged into an inproper usb port make sure that you are plugged into a usb port that is directly connected to the mobo.

also i didnt see but are you working in linux or are you trying to do it from windows
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shadnic:
I am in windows unfortunately. I thought it may be my computer not recognizing it, but then again, it was able to push the other commands to my phone leading up to that step without problem. But I could see that being the issue. I tried several usb ports and this one was the only one that worked well (I only have 2 usb2.0 ports, as most of mine are 3.0).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Univsoldur:
Well I can tell you while I didn't use this method I used dirty racun and I was able to push all the commands to the phone until I got to the part when I needed to push a file the PPl over at io told me to run the command I told u and it told me the comp wasn't seeing the phone. Not sure if there is a similar command in windows as I did the process in Ubuntu
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shadnic:
Hmmm, well then I'll have to try some different USB ports, as I agree, that could be the problem. I'm using the ones located on the top of my computer case, but that's because those are the only usb 2.0 ports I have. At least I think. I'll have to double check!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Univsoldur:
honestly it sounds to me like the ones located "on the top" of your computer case while they might be usb 2.0 are not directly connected to the mobo. They are more than likely connected to the mobo with the use of a cable inside the case. Honestly I have no clue why it matters if the usb is directly on the mobo but I can say that in my case it did make a difference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shadnic:
Well you were absolutely right, I found a usb 2.0 on the back that's directly attached to the mobo and it worked like a charm! Thank you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Univsoldur:
glad i could help enjoy your s-off :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Just got S-OFF for my buddy,worked as advertised Thanks so much to all involved :D

Only hiccup was I had to reboot to bootloader manually for the final step
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] isaelperez81:
Touch Screen Not Responsive

I was tired of not having bluetooth and was looking to do ruu and get everything back to stock and upgraded to the newer hboot 2.09. That still hasnt resolved my bluetooth not working ever since the Jellybean upgrade. SO I re locked, ruu, and upgraded. So sadly i am back to stock no more meanbean. The watermark on the boot screen ** RELOCKED** was annoying if i am going to take this back to SPRINT and get a new EVO. So looking around I found the boot customizer, to use you have to be rooted and unlocked and S-OFF. So i unlocked and SU, but with the OTA i lost my S-Off, Used Facepalm and followed the process getting everything with the hex code and what not.

I followed everything to the t and did the cid process and was happy to see s-off, but touch panel soon after did not work:eek::eek:.

AFter a few minutes i remembered the solution was to use easy, use CaptainThrowback TP,zip and downgrade it via bootloader and everything works.

SO the question is did the facepalm upgrade the tp or the CID process? Scary thought after doing all that work

Finally went and Customized the boot signature to *** locked *** and everything is the way i wanted. The issue i still have is no Bluetooth. At least I can take this back to sprint and get another one under Total Protection.?

I can claim the Bluetooth stopped working after the latest upgrade, the latest info is on the bootscreen. with everything "locked " the only way to tell is if they see Super User.

all this because of stupid Bluetooth..... that HTC or Sprint want to take care of.....

any ideas if the newer EVO in the stores have the latest hboot? if so are the phones fully functional with the BlueTooth?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Univsoldur:
honestly my sister works for sprint and to be honest with you when i showed her my bootloader screen she said she had never even dealt wit hthat screen before. The only reason to return it to stock is so they can hook the phone up to a program called "SLATE". The phones that they give I do believe have the latest 2.09 hboot but thats the one I have and my bluetooth does work and I was able to root the phone. Quite honestly the sprint stores in my area will even take back a rooted and s-off phone because most of the employees do the same thing to their phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] isaelperez81:
Nice info... Ty...

What drives me crazy is .... A - are our phone bad batches that can't handle the upgraded jelly or b- they fixed the jelly recently in the new batch phone and dont update the ota software of the ones from last year...

Well its good to know that the newer EVO BT works with the current update. Just what's the difference between the older LTE and the newer?

I do have TEP and its a hardware issue they should be able to exchange on the spot at a Sprint corporate location

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jonathan.strunk:
I just went through everything but the TP issue this past week. Bluetooth has been out for a couple of months. Couldn't see or pair with anything. So I took it all the way back to stock, S-on, latest hboot and firmware... and boom Bluetooth connected flawlessly and stayed on, connected, and streaming music while I messed with it for almost an hour. Previously it seemed like putting down the phone the wrong way could disconnect it. I've read that there's an antennae built into the cover and that the contact get bent and don't make a solid connection to the antenna. Not really sure why it started working but now i'm back s-off (thanks to a combination if dirtyracun and facepalm), latest meanbean and the blue still works most of time. Wish i had a helpful sprint store but last time i went about the Bluetooth, the honest to god suggestion was, "you have a lot of apps, sometimes when you get too many it messes with the phones performance"

:confused::rolleyes:

As a side note, i thought the rooted phone wasn't an issue anymore. I remember seeing somewhere that if you have TEP they have to honor it with the caveat that they may have to take it back to factory stock in the process.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] isaelperez81:
Great info. So even of rooted s off unlocked with TEP they are to either fox the hardware issue or replace the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Adebayo88:
im about to s-off using this method....is there anything i should be aware of? unlocked bootloader, s=on, hboot 2.09, radio 1. 12.11.1210, build number 3.16
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
You can't use this method if you're on 3.16 build. You need to RUU to 3.15 build using DirtyRacun/BabyRacun method, than you can S-off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jonathan.strunk:
I'm trying to find the article but that's the way I understand it. Here's the link (http://www.talkandroid.com/106496-customer-support-now-available-for-rooted-devices-at-sprint/)

Now that may be corporates interpretation but we all know the stores sometimes aren't with the program....

Not sure about the download link. Which one?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] isaelperez81:
thanks for the article.

Playing it safe and RUU to S-on with locked bootloader so they wont know,

My BT still doesnt work and ive tired to go back to stock. Ran many ruu and still no go. I am going to use viper ruu next to see if that fixes it..

BTW what ruu process did you use that fixed your bt issue.. mines also stopped working for a few months..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Adebayo88:
So im on the last step of the unlimited.io dirty racun s-off for my evo 4g lte....(step 8 of the unlocking bootloader instructions on htcdev.com site)....it says to type fastboot oem get_identifier_token....cmd responds with The program 'fastboot' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:...."

the instructions on unlimited.IO says not to install anything..im kinda stuck :/

CORRECTION: i got it... "sudo ./" :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] insanedeath44:
I'm on RUU 3.15.651.16 can I use this to get s-off I'm not rooted and I'm relock right now so can I go ahead and do it or do I need to be rooted and bootloader unlock ? Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
You need to be rooted. Just root it using HTCDEV it doesn't take that long. Install recovery and SuperSU and than you can use this tool since you are on 3.15

im getting this FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail) im unlock rooted im on windows 7 64bit

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] untz1456:
i have a question im flashed to boost if i try to get s-off will it damage it ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Hulkanator:
Anyone have the steps to complete this process?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
Instructions are on the first page of this thread. Just make sure you aren't on 3.16 firmware or else it will not work for you. If you are, you will need to use DirtyRacun to RUU back down to 3.15, than you can continue using DirtyRacun or use this to obtain S-Off
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dxtyle:
so far this is the easiest way ive found to get S-off thanks!!!!!!!!
